Sorry for the wait guys! I know this chapter is short and doesn't have much excitement, but I've completely planned out the rest of the story! Next chapter should be the big drama/turning point chapter!
I don't own VA!
She was screaming again. For the fifth time in less than two hours, I rose from my bed and crossed the room to the crib that was sitting there. I reached into the crib and lifted Audrea out. I rocked her gently, trying to calm her down. She only screamed one more before whimpering. She put her miniscule hand on my chest, and I immediately knew what the problem was.
"Come on Drea," I cooed as I walked to the kitchen. I pulled a bottle out of the fridge and put it in the microwave. After it was heated, I tested it on my wrist. Finding it the perfect temperature, I guided it into her mouth. Once she was fed, she was happier, but not by much. I still couldn't get her to settle down. Feeling terrible for waking him up, I immediately went to Tristan's room. Seeing him sleep so angelically broke my heart a bit, for I was about to wake him up. I shook his shoulder gently.
"Tristan, get up," I murmured quietly. He woke up and looked at me. "Can you watch Lily? I'm going to take Audrea to the hospital." He nodded. I put on a robe and shoes before grabbing Audrea's bag and going to the hospital.
"Name?" the receptionist asked.
"The baby's?" The receptionist nodded. "Her name is Audrea Camryn Hathaway-Mazur." Her head snapped up at 'Mazur.'
"Your relation?"
"Sister,"
"Sorry, only a parent or guardian can check in a patient under the age of eighteen." I shot her my signature glare.
"If you want to go wake up Janine Hathaway or Abe Mazur in the middle of the night, be my guest." With that thought, she led me to an exam room. The nurse walked in.
"Hello, my name is Zena Kenley. Can I ask what seems to be the problem?" she asked sweetly. I gave her a smile.
"My sister hasn't been sleeping. My mom also told me that she hasn't been eating well either. She woke up screaming earlier. She was hungry, so I fed her. She calmed down slightly but not much."
"Well, we can keep her overnight for observation, but I'm afraid Dr. Hakim isn't available right now to give her an exam." Zena shot me an apologetic look, referring to the resident pediatrician and OB/GYN.
"Why not?" I demanded.
"She's currently in delivery with Mrs. Castile," Zena explained. I conceded to overnight observation. When Zena had taken away Audrea, I decided to call my mom. She picked up on the first ring.
"Mom, Drea's in the hospital," I said bluntly. She gasped.
"What happened to her?" she asked frantically. I heard her waking up my father in the background.
"She woke me up about five times tonight screaming. When I fed her, she didn't stop." I heard a strangled sob.
"Oh, my baby," she murmured. "Is Lara giving her a check-up?" she asked, referring to Dr. Hakim.
"No, she's in delivery with Mia. They're keeping her overnight to figure out the problem."
"Alright, we'll be right over to the hospital," she said before hanging up. Deciding there was nothing more I could do, I went to the waiting room. After sitting there for less than ten minutes, Eddie came running out of the back area. He shot me a funny look.
"What are you doing here Rose?" he asked.
"Waiting for Mom and Abe to get here so we can see Audrea." His face immediately switched to concerned.
"Is she ok?"
"We don't know yet. By the way, how's Mia?" I asked. I had just noticed his haggard and harassed appearance. His hand also looked like it had some wicked bruising. Despite looking thoroughly beaten up, he gave a prideful beam.
"She's the tired but proud mother of twin baby girls," he announced. I immediately got up and gave him a hug.
"So what are their names?" I demanded, putting my hands on my hips. His smile grew impossibly wider.
"Maysen Reilly Castile and Ashton Rebecca Castile," he informed me with a slightly sad smile. My eyes watered a bit. They had named their daughters after Mason and Mia's mother, Rebecca.
"Who do they look like?" I asked, trying not to think about Spokane.
"I think they look like Mia; she thinks they look like me." We chatted a bit longer before he led me back to meet his daughters. When I looked into the little nursery, I immediately knew which babies were the Castile twins, never mind that they were the only babies there. One girl had Eddie's sandy blonde hair while the other Mia's blonde.
"They're beautiful," I praised him. He smiled some more. We talked for a little while longer about anything and everything until my mother ran into the hall, my father hot on her heels.
"Where's my baby?" she demanded as soon as she stopped in front of me. The nurse came around the corner holding Audrea.
"She's fine Guardian Hathaway," the nurse assured her. She sighed in relief before reaching out to take her. Finally, the night's drama was over.
Again, I'm sorry it's so short! Let's try for 150 reviews? I might be able to get chapter 11 up by the weekend (note "MIGHT").
